I've been experiencing some weird skin rashes along with vomiting lately. There are these small red dots on my hands and under the palms, same with my feet. I've also been feeling nauseous and have headaches off and on. The rashes are super itchy, and on my legs, it even looks like mosquito bites, but I'm sure there are no mosquitoes around. What could this be? Should I be worried?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction or a viral infection. The skin rashes, vomiting, red dots on hands and feet, nausea, headache, and itchy bumps on legs could be indicative of a condition like hand, foot, and mouth disease. I recommend taking an antihistamine like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) for the itching and rash. You can also consider using a topical corticosteroid cream like Hydrocortisone to help with the inflammation. For the nausea and vomiting, you can try over-the-counter medications like Pepto-Bismol or Dramamine. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to seek medical attention.

View allI'm feeling a bit unsure about how to properly use the Clindac A gel and Dervia CMS gel that my doctor recommended. Could you give me some guidance on the right way to apply them, like the order or if there's a specific routine to follow? I'm just worried about not using them correctly and want to make sure I get the best results. What's the best approach here?
To use Clindac A gel, you should first wash the affected area with a mild cleanser and pat it dry. Then, apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected skin once or twice daily, as directed by your doctor. Make sure to avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. For Dervia CMS gel, you should also clean the affected area before application. Apply a small amount of the gel to the affected skin once daily, preferably in the evening. Gently massage it into the skin until it is absorbed. Both gels are for external use only.

I've got these two cuts behind my right ear that just won't heal and they've been there for nearly a year now. They ooze, scab over, and get really crusty. There's no rash, and they don't look like any eczema pictures I've found. I've tried prescribed creams but nothing helps. What could this be, and what should I do next?
Could be indicative of a condition called chronic otitis externa. In this case, I would recommend using a combination of an antibiotic and steroid ear drops to help with the inflammation and infection. You can try using Neomycin-Polymyxin B-Hydrocortisone ear drops twice a day for 7-10 days. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and avoid scratching or picking at the scabs to prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been struggling with ringworm for a year nowit just keeps coming and going. Every time I start on my medicines, it seems to get better, but when I stop, it just comes back after a few days. I'm taking ityza 100 mg twice daily and there's another one for allergy I take once a day. Plus, I'm using terbinafine cream. I'm worried and wondering why this keeps happening and what else I might be able to do to get rid of it for good. Any advice would be really appreciated.
That could be fungal infection which needs both oral and topical antifungal medications and personal hygiene is more important for such condition.
